I just got my Brooks B67s and put it on and rode around for a while...and its a wee bit hard on the whole story...but what concerns me is the pressure on the soft part....

My Specialized stock saddle is really pretty invisible (no pain) and it has a cut out....but damn I want function AND beauty...and that Brooks is gorgeous.

My question is...if there is pressure there now, will it remain even when the Brooks breaks in? I can't quite see how it wouldn't be. I'd be willing to suffer for beauty if an end to suffering was in sight.

I'm not sure I have it adjusted right. I started off with the saddle level, then ended up pushing it back on the rails and tipping the nose down a bit...but it doesn't feel right. How do you proceed with adjustments?

ANd I'm having the same Selle AN Atom vs Brooks question.....because I really think it is the cut out on the stock saddle that makes it so promising.

any input?
